Tips from the Miami-Dade County Emergency Management Department tips: What to do before, during, and after the storm.

Hurricane season in the Atlantic Region begins on June 1st and ends on November 30th. South Florida residents are always encouraged to develop and review their personal hurricane preparedness plans and have the right supplies in place. After a storm, roads can be difficult to navigate and help might take some time to arrive. Therefore, all residents must be ready to survive on your own for a minimum of 72 hours without electricity or water. Please take the time necessary to prepare yourself and your family NOW, because there may not be sufficient time once we are threatened with a hurricane or any hazardous tropical weather event.

According to the National Hurricane Center, increased awareness of hazardous tropical weather and its potential impacts are “vital to the public and those emergency managers charged with safeguarding lives and property.” In its efforts to prepare for hurricane season, The Town of Miami Lakes developed a dynamic Hurricane Plan comprised of various sections that is maintained and revised on a yearly basis. The Plan follows National Incident Management System (NIMS) guidelines to ensure effective communication, resource management, and recovery efforts.
